SIR JOHN B. LAwEs says the Ger
mar experiments upon cooked and I'M
cooked food for stock do not show any
clear evidence in favor of the former,
and the process of steaming and other
modes of converting dry food into
succulent food have never become
popular among practical farmers in
England, and he is inclined to think
that too much value is placed upon
succulent food as compared with dry
food for stock for meat production;
for milk production, especially where
quantity rather than quality is the
object, be thinks %succulent food would
certainly have an advantage; but he
is doubtful whether one would produce
more butter-fat than the other.

1t the suggestion Of DR.. Thresh,
says the Chemic1l Nelos, a novel process
has been devised for treating the sew
age of Buxton, England. The precipi-
tant brought into play is simply a min-
eral water derived from the lower coal
formations about two miles above Bux-
ton. IL contains IL grains OF iron per
gallon in a state of ferrous carbonate,
held In solution by carbonic acid. On
exposure to the air the carbonic acid
escapes, and the iron, taking up more
oxygen, subsidies in the state Of ferrie
hydroxide in combination with a con-
siderable part of the organic impurities,
suspended and dissolved. The results
according TO analysis are very satisfac-
tory. The sewage before treatment
contains free ammonia liza parts per
million and albuminoid ammonia 1.60
parts. The figures, after the treatment,
are reduced to AGO parts OF free ammo
mia per million, and 0.50 parts OF albu-
minoid ammonia per million. The
sewage is decidedly weak then, and
may be run off with impunity into
the streams. Additional proof is thus
afforded of the efficiency of minera-
salts in precipitating organic lmpuril
ties. Similar applications of mineral
charged waters may be made elsewhere.
A recent writer on heating green
houses aud Conservatives says that tho
secret of successful heating is to raise
the temperature Of the water in a short
space of time so as to cause it to flow
through the ~radIating pipes with such
velocity that it may return to the boiler
before losing all its heat. This is
achieved by bringing the water under
the fire in email continuous bodies, and
it this is carried out the radiating pipes
can be reduced in size with advantage
and economy. The time for putting all
such things In working order is during
the warm season.
